Think on These Things

Here it is Friday morning and Janette has got me in my chair and gave me breakfast. The TV is on but it’s muted. I have my books and Bible on my iPhone, iPad and PC. I started reading a ministry book this morning called “The Prodigal God”. I listen to 3 chapters in the New Testament. Now I have to admit I’m bored. I don’t really enjoy much on TV. I can only read so much so I went over to the front window to look out and see what the cat finds so interesting. while I was there I was daydreaming and admiring the trees even though they don’t have any leaves yet. Of course my thoughts tend to gravitate toward the negative. How much effort it is for my wife to take care of me. How difficult it is for me to do anything. And then I remembered these verses from Philippians. It’s hard to get around what it tells me I should be dwelling on and thinking on. The portion I like the best is “whatsoever things are lovely”.

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”
Philippians 4:8 KJV
